Recycled fashion: Burned Out Christmas Light Brooch

Bzzzzt. Bzzzzt. Pop. Christmas light fail. It's that time of year again when you get to thinking about untangling those Christmas lights and wrapping them round a dead tree. Magic. But those pesky bulbs seem to have fragile hearts and are constantly giving up the ghost. What to do with a handful of burned-out Christmas lights bulbs?

Singing "I'm dreaming of a green Christmas..." Reloved Designs shows off her ever so fabulous Burned Out Lightbulb Brooch on Craftster. The brooch is a simple but very effective cluster of bulbs, beads and shiny stuff that will certainly grab fellow Christmas party-goers by the fake antlers and turn them elf green with envy.

That's not the only recycled string to Reloved Designs handmade bow either.

Her Reloved blog is full of excellent green ideas and she's got an Etsy shop if you've not got enough crafting time before Christmas to get your green gifts sorted.

Recycling the seemingly unrecyclable, getting your Christmas craft on and blinging yourself up in one crafty go. Festively fabulous.
